H Fricassee IMPRESSIONS ’84 Baton Rouge High School 2825 Government Street Baton Rouge, La. 70806 Volume LXIX First Impressions — Faces And Places Everyone forms lasting impressions of people and places. Baton Rouge High was no exception. Whether one had been here three years already or if it was for the first time, the place and the new faces were all leaving a memorable mark. The seniors had graduation and college planning, the juniors had the all important prom, the sophomores were no longer the youngest and had a new sense of freedom, and the freshmen had four of the best years of their lives still to experience. BRHS offered even the most skeptical of these groups a variety of new and different experiences with which to be impressed. The most important and lasting impression was made on the first day of school. Meeting new people and new teachers and seeing old friends who looked a little different after a summer, that first day set the pace for the rest of the year. The days after that first one were just other marks in a great high school career; they gave everyone something special to look back on in the years to follow. Smiles like the one Carroll Haymon wears form great first impressions. It's always reassuring to know that when in doubt someone can point the way. During lunch, the front lawn is a nice place to meet new people and see old friends. 2 First Impressions A place of unique experiences and wonderful people. that's BRHS. The improvisations at the SGA assembly are the first of much entertainment. Actors like Gretchen Case practice long and hard to make great first stage impressions. Stopping between classes Is another way to make good impressions on one's friends. The first school dance of the year always brings out the impressively different personalities of those who attend. First lmprcssions 3 Best In Everyone’s Eyes BRHS is a place of unparalleled educational opportunities and excellence of education standards. Renee Suire and Cindy Allison take time out from the festivities to show off some green and gold balloons. During the 1982-83 school year an official for the national board on education, Antoine Garibaldi, visited BRHS. What was he here for? He was looking at the school’s many different programs, teaching methods and at the students. After the reports and evaluations, we were chosen as one of the top one hundred and fifty elementary and secondary schools in the entire na tion. Dr. Raymond Arveson, the Superintendent for East Baton Rouge Parish Schools, and Miss Mary Lee Guillot, our Principal, then went to Washington to receive a flag com mending us for our excellent programs and hear an address by President Ronald Reagan. The planning for a school presentation of a plaque then began. The big day occurred November 16. and the entire student body took part, dressing up for the occasion. Several bakeries, along with Goudchaux, our adop tor, and other local merchants, presented the school with a huge cake, honey buns, punch, cokes, programs. and balloons to make the day special. The presentation lasted an hour and had entertainment provided by MTW, the choir, the gymnastics team and the band. Miss Guillot received a telegram from Hensen Moore congratulating the school. She was presented the plaque recognizing our Excellence in Education by Dr. Bruce Haslem, representing Secretary of Education, Ted Bell. The day was filled with impressions as everyone realized that we had been recognized in everyone's eyes as one of the best in the nation. «1 4 The Best Miss Mary Lee Guillot. our principal, proudly displays the plaque of recognition while holding a balloon for release. Mrs. Martinez. Mrs. Matthews. Ms. Tuminello. Ms. Robertson. Mrs. Gcracc. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Jones, wait for the presentation to end and the festivities to begin. After the festivities on the lawn, students release 1300 balloons which Goudchaux provided. The balloons caught many eyes, letting others who could not attend know of the celebration at BRHS. The gymnastics team and MTW provided entertainment during the presentation. -i. Something only BRHS can boast of arc John Burke and Rob Payer, who raised money during a WBRH sponsorship drive for the MD telethon by shaving their hair. Although dance is not unique only to BRHS. a dance class that performs the Nutcracker, like ours, is special. And That’s What Makes Gs Different! A radio station to call our own; fencing; yoga; dance; 32 national merit semi finalists; band: orchestra; jazz; teachers with school spirit; drama; number one track, cross country, and swimming teams; piano- those were only a few of the varied activities which set us apart from other schools. Some schools might equal us in some areas, but no other school had so many activities which students could take part in so freely. The involvement and spirit of the student body and the willingness of the faculty to provide educational excellence established an atmosphere impressively unique to our school. It's what made us different-special. One of the things for which we are outstanding is academics. A record, even for BRHS. is 32 merit semi-finalists. Pictured are John Finley. David Whitchurch.

Pictured is Mr. Gerbrecht conducting these hopefuls of tomorrow. Staying in shape has become a national obsession and BRHS has risen to the occasion by offering a yoga course sixth hour. It’s a great way to shape up. Mrs. Daly shows that school spirit is not just for the students, even teachers can let their personalities show through. Mr. T would probably approve of his toughlooking English counterpart. Mrs. D. Junior Olympic contenders practice their moves on the stage to improve their fencing skill, a course very different from most others offered. We’re Different 7 School Spirit Everywhere School spirit was everywhere! This was no wonder, because our students had so many things to be proud of! This spirit was displayed in a variety of ways, not only at school, but also throughout the community. Students participated in dress-up days sponsored by the Student Government Association and often wore green and gold attire. Some even drove green and gold cars! In the community, students reached out to help those in need. Some of these activities to help others included preparing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for the needy, visiting nursing homes and homes for abused children, tutoring younger students, participating in the annual Muscular Dystrophy drive, and even volunteering time and talents at the 1983 International Summer Special Olympics. Our students certainly had school spirit! Key Club members answer phones at the annual Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. This is a community service provided by club members each year. School colors are displayed in a variety of ways. Seniors Rob Casse and John Burke arc Stacy Hamilton. Beth Rolfsen. Erin Onellion. and David Meyers especially proud of their green cars and ' their personalized parking spaces. P°se Butch, our faithful mascot, at the annual Fall Fair. 8 School Spirit Tutoring is one of the new service projects the Key Club provides. Charles Youngs participates by tutoring a younger student. What teacher would want to face this classroom? Spirited students participate in the SGA sponsored Masquerade Day. Wendy Ward. Kim Klmmel. Helen Young. Mike Ellis. Dara Bonaventure. Ur Maguire. Kim Stafford, and Kristen Harroun display their BRHS pride at the award ceremony on November 16. WBRH. our own radio station run by high school students, is the only such station in the South and one of only two in the nation. This is one accomplishment BRHS has great pride in! Disc jockey Rob Payer seems at home in the environment. School Spirit 9 Even the pouring rain did not dampen spirits at the annual SGA sponsored Fall Fair on November 4. Keith Harrison. Raymond Coscy. Derek Bartie. and Mike Ellis exhibit the true spirit of intramural flag football. What a topsy turvy world we live in! Orchestra members display their individuality between rehearsals. 10 FUN! FUN! FUN! After Work Is Done - FUN! FUN! FUN! An average school day was filled with lots of hard work and intense concentration. When students returned home, they had homework and more studying to do. After this work was done, what came next? Students were attracted to the mag net program by the variety and specialization of academic courses offered, yet no high school could be complete without opportunities to meet fellow students and develop new friendships. Through organizations, sports, social events, and extracurricular activities, a necessary balance was created between THE BOOKS and THE FUN. £ Spieled students enjoy an evening of fun and excitement at the annual Baton Rouge State Fair on October 31. supporting our own WBRH's HAL■ LOROCKOCJOBERFEST The festival. Including a costume contest, a disc jockey contest, and a performance by the rock group Producer, is an opportunity for friendships formed at school to carry over into out of school activities. FLASH! Senior Jay Svcndsen has lots of fun on Masquerade Day. uncovering many surprises and hashing a new dimension of his personality. Clowning around on the front lawn during lunchtime are fun-loving juniors Kyle Gerber and David Kozan. FUN FUN! FUN!, Working Toward A Common Goal Unity was an outstanding feature ever present at BRHS. Although each individual student was unique and each of the four classes had its won distinct identity, students united and worked toward a common goal - the best possible education obtainable. While working toward this goal, each class had special areas of interest. Freshmen experienced the beginning of high school life. They enjoyed electing leaders early in the year, but did not always enjoy being teased by the older students. Sophomores found a new freedom after passing this teasing stage. They relaxed, knowing college pressures were a long way off. Planning the prom and purchasing class rings were highlights of the Junior year. Juniors were often fund raising to help finance the prom. Seniors were anticipating graduation and preparing for college. Some of their special activities included College Day. graduation supply orders, non-school-sponsored Senior parties, and the Senior trip. Purchasing class rings creates much excitement for the junior class. Melanie Braud and Elizabeth Cane place their orders with the Jostens' representatives. 12 Common Coal Freshmen look forward to electing their class officers early in the academic year. Aspiring candidates for leadership are Garland Goodwin. Terrell Turner. Susan Granier. Gerard Smith. Tara Toulmon. and Stacy Williams. Seniors anticipate graduation and ordering graduation supplies. Class officers Jill Roshto and Amy Wise meet to finalize plans for the sale. Fund raising is an important part of the junior year. Fiona O'Connell. Jennifer Prestholdt. Stephanie Hanor. and Paige McCown sell cokes to help raise money for the prom. Geometry is a subject that many sophomores take. Kelly Speed works hard to master the skills necessary. Sophomores Adam Fishbcin and Nancy Ferrell work diligently, trying to complete their class assignment before the bell rings. The first activity of the Freshmen class is to elect class officers. Freshmen smile with excitement, waiting to hear the speeches of the candidates so that the most qualified can be chosen as their leaders. The devil made me do it!” At the nonschool sponsored senior masquerade party on October 29. Tracie Buzbee and Chad Daniel show their spirit by dressing up for the occasion. Student are not the only ones with deadlines. Mrs. Mitchell tries desperately to get her lesson plans for the upcoming week, so she can make her deadline. The newspaper staff encounters the rushed deadline more than anyone in the school. Tim Randolph shows that being editor means more hard work. When the 3:15 bell rings everyone has five minutes to get from class to the bus. Coming from the third floor can always make one cut it close. The only alternative to the problem is to drive. 14 l’m Late I’m Late, I’m Late, For A Very Important . . . At one time or another everyone in high school has had the problem. The problem, of course, was lateness-lateness, not just for school, but for class, homework, dates, deadlines, and even the never waiting bus. Every person experienced it at one point in their high school career, some more than once. It caused many a messy paper and plenty of stops at MacDonald s for a quick bite to eat. But. when all the cramming seemed to be over and everything was turned in. one Still had the next assignment to look forward to. We all grew to expect and deal with it. Rushing and lateness added many memorable high school exper- A watch cuts down on the possibility of losing track of time, but it does not help Eric Chambers make it to the gym in ten seconds. Rosalind Hill and Francesca Cunningham take a last minute glance at test notes.

Secretary Forming impressions about high school life was something all Freshmen did. Starting high school was both frightening and exciting. Entering as a freshman introduced some to many fears, such as being socially accepted by the upperclassmen, adjusting to the sched- ule. and being able to handle the responsibilities. To oth ers it seemed exciting. The halls crowded with new people. a variety of clubs to be involved in, and all the so cial activities ...

Besides planning the class parties, the officers also worked together with a representative from Graduate Supply House to plan for graduation. The officers chose the design for the graduation announcements and invitations. They also worked with Miss Guilliot in the planning of the graduation ceremonies.

The A.P. classes were taught on a college level and allowed students who wished to. to take a placement test at the end of the year for college credit. Among the advanced placement courses which seniors took were. Chemistry ll Lab, English IV. World History, French I and Calculus. The courses not only allowed students to learn more, but to get ahead. 82 Seniors Administration ....................page 86 Math ..............................page 88 Performing Arts ...................page 93 1984 — A Year Of Rememberance The year was finally here, 1984. The year when we. the class of '84 would leave our secure world of high school and venture out in separate ways to truly find ourselves in the colossal world of college. Holding our futures in the palms of our hands, with our transcripts and resumes, we bombarded the colleges of not only Louisiana, but those of the entire country, in hopes of finding something big, something wonderful, that something special with which we could identify and really distinguish ourselves as individuals. So with our heads held high, we take charge and challenge the world. We will make mistakes and fall, but we will pick ourselves back up and try again with twice the effort. for we have learned from our errors and use the knowledge which we have gained from our mistakes to do the job. not only better, but with great self-acknowledgement in some thing we truly believe in. As we are looking back on our senior year of high school we realize we have learned so much, yet there is still so much more out there to be learned, and there is also so much we can teach. Hence, we continue to learn and hope to teach others of our greatest achievements. And through the difficulties and the tides of life, we ultimately appreciate those four wonderful years of our lives which we remember as high school. 1 Seniors Administration .....................page 86 Math ...............................page 88 Performing Arts ....................page 93 The “Big Three” Ms. Mary Lee Guillot, Mr. Harold Menard, and Mr. J.B. Williams were the “Big Three” during the 1983 84 school year. As the administrators, they were responsible for keeping the school running smoothly and keeping the students in line. In addition to their regular duties, they were also involved in the national recognition program when BRHS was honored. They worked hard planning for the big day. The three'' also worked with the faculty and students to make for a great school year. Ms. Mary Lee Guillot- Principal Mr. J.B.

Mr. Barnes oversees and critiques his students artwork and lends ideas for creativity. Drafting teacher. Mr. Perilloux. lectures and advises students on their drafting and architectural techniques. The Art Department kept very busy this year helping both the drama and dance departments. Art students helped with the scenery used in the major production of the Nutcracker Suite. The courses ranged from basic art skills to many more advanced levels. Artistic students were able to expand their talents for painting and sculpting. Architecture classes concentrated on advanced designing techniques. Engineering and drafting classes kept very busy exhibiting their skills around the school. The typing department offered courses for both beginning students and advanced level stenographers. Emphasis was placed on learning the best keyboard technique.

Advanced Placement classes are another example of the college preparatory program that Baton Rouge High offered. The Advanced Placement classes also awarded an extra quality point. A great percentage of the juniors and seniors enrolled in A.P. classes. Juniors enjoyed English III A.P., taught by Mrs. Mary Anne Kennedy. The popular senior favorite seemed to be English IV A.P., taught by Mrs. Jan Daly. These classes stressed college-level literature and writing skills.

Music Theater Workshop kicked off the new school year with the production of “Once Upon a Mattress”. Many hours of rehearsals were put in after school and on weekends to have the show ready for production week, October 11-14. The story took place in a castle where Princess 12 was being given the royalty test to see if she was truly a princess. She failed and the long search for a true princess continued. The plot thickened with the finding of Princess Winnifred the Woebegone. a supposed princess of the swamps. She was definitely not the queen’s idea of a perfect wife for her son, Dauntless. or a fit future Queen of England. Unlike his mother. Prince Dauntless was very attracted to Winnifred as was his mute father. King Sexti-mus. She passed the tough est test of royalty by sensing a pea under 20 mattresses.

The choir also had many outstanding individuals who were able to participate in the All-Parish Choir. The choir wasn't the only musical group which had a busy year. The bands had a very busy and successful year under the direction of Mr. Fortier and Mr. Gerbrecht. Ten students from our school were chosen for All-State Band, a big achievement for a band student. The bands had many concerts throughout the year. It began with a fall concert and a visit to the middle schools. The orchestra, jazz, and wind ensembles played a concert at Loyola University. Both the choir and the band performed at the ceremony which rec- ognized our school as one of the best in the nation. They were also involved in the annual production of the Nutcracker. They ended a year of great performances with a spring concert given for the students, parents. and faculty. 104 Band Choir David Ellis proves that the key to a successful band student is practice.

The fall season brought with it many new fads. Chad Daniel sports the popular dark sunglasses known as wayfarers' and the new fashion in footwear, waterproof duck shoes. These and other fads arc quite popular among many of the students. The preppy look is a fashion which seems to never go out of style. This look can be achieved by wearing either Polo. l od. or oxfords in a variety of colors and plaids. Teamed up with either jeans or slacks, loafers or topsiders. the preppy look modeled by Shawn Kleinpeter and Michelle Gwin is very stylishly shown. With the litness trend comes an appeal for sporty activewear. Sweatshirts, t-shirts, tennis shoes, and warmups make up the total look.

Striped jeans are favored by many, along with jeans available in a variety of colors. The popular brands are Lee. Calvin Klein. Esprit. Levis. Zena. and Jordache. Contrast, layers, colors, and textures were necessary factors in achieving the new fall fashions. The “flashdance look was the most innovative look, which included ripped sweatshirts. A variation of this style was layered clothes. Warmups or sweatshirts were pop ular among both girls and boys. Sweatshirts were a casual and comfortable choice, a favorite with many students. Jeans were still the most casual dress for students, though many new trends allowed creativity in the jeans apparel. Preppy was a look that was still strong. Button down oxfords worn under sweater vests, in a variety of styles and colors, achieved a colie giate look. Accessories for girls included wide belts, earrings, and add a-bead necklaces. Boys favored “wayfarers ', the popular dark sunglasses. Outside the fashion world, the big gest fad by far was the cloth doll known as the Cabbage Patch Doll. These soft, endearing dolls came complete with adoption papers.

Its first difference was that it took place after school instead of on a Saturday. The second was. it was held in the pouring rain. Although everyone's spirits were dampened. the fair went on. To the delight of many, booths were moved under the covered walkways. The food, ranging from French Crepes and nachos to sweets, was enjoyed by all. In spite of the weather, students took pleasure in hearing their favorite songs and supporting their school activities. w Lf B R H S Despite the rainy weather.

Fall Fair 109 Belles And Beaux A Night In The Orient February 2. 1984, was the evening that set the stage for Baton Rouge High’s annual Belles and Beaux pageant. With A Night in the Orient as the theme, the stage was brightly decorated with red lights, paper umbrellas. and oriental lamps. Everyone worked hard to make this night a success, and this was clearly shown by the detail present. There were even Kabuki actors on stage portrayed by Fricassee staff members. For the second year in a row, Terry Burhans from WBRZ was the master of ceremonies. The toughest part of the whole evening was choosing the winners, and the staff invited Patricia Elliot, Roy Robison, Linda Canfield, Marie Brown, and Tracy Rogers to perform this difficult task. While the votes were being tallied. Erik McAllister, a mime, entertained a very attentive audience.. 110 Belles And Beaux Welcoming the audience to A Night in the Orient are Fricassee staff members Melanie Braud. Co- editor Renee Gravois. and feature editor Claire Thevenot. The annual Belles and Beaux Pageant is planned by the features section, who chose to carry out this year's oriental theme with Chinese lanterns, painted umbrellas, twinkling minaiture lanterns and the brass gong. To add authenticity, silk robes and trousers and special makeup worn by Kabuki actors were used. Selecting winners is never an easy task, especially when choosing from twenty pretty belles and ten handsome beaux, but with balloting completed. Junior winners Vickie Bonham. Bryan Gardner, Chip Warfield, and Wendy King are presented to the audience. A variety of styles arc chosen each year by Belles and Beaux contestants, as the four sophomore winners show here. Both sophomore belles. Stella Kim and Michelle Gwln. made it two-in-a-row this year, repeating their wins as freshmen. Definite hits with the audience as well as the judges are sophomore beaux Tyrone Matthews and Maurice Velazquez. Sometimes being a senior can be sad because of all the good byes, but more often than not. seniors are not sad at all — they are smiling and having fun. These four winners are no exception: they are senior Belles: Lisa Cikut and Marla Hil-burn and senior Beaux: Mike Ellis and Kevin Wood. Excited winners from the freshman class arc Belles Erin Onellion and Amanda Harris, and Beaux John Constantinides and Chad Thevenot.

Many students were proud to have WBRH as a part of their school, but few really knew the work involved. To become a disc jockey on WBRH. courses in Public Speaking and Radio I must have been completed. Then an application for a Restricted Radio telephone Operator Permit must have been filled out and approved by the FCC (Federal Communication Commission). When a disc jockey came to work, the first thing to be done was to sign in and write down the time. He or she was then the official announcer on duty and had to follow all FCC guidelines. The announcer picked the music to be played, according to the show's theme. A play list had been made and approved prior to the announcer’s shift. After the discs were pulled, one usually spun albums.” A typical shift would include preparing and reading an hourly news break, playing P.S.A.'s and promos, preparing continuity to be said between records and answering the telephone, besides spinning albums. Sometimes the station was given free tickets from the promoters of upcoming concerts to give away on the air. WBRH grew in the last seven years, to a radiated power of 1360 watts and a range with an approximate 15 mile radius. With the eyecatching bumper stickers everywhere, WBRH's estimated audience was over 50,000. Disc jockeys Shannon Burke and Anna Hewes sort news to be read over the air on the hourly news break.

Behind The Scenes As a member of the audience, it is easy to criticize or praise a school production, but it is difficult to imagine what goes on behind the scenes. Actors, actresses, singers, and dancers must really enjoy what they are doing to attend daily rehearsals as opening night approaches. Although the show appears to be running smoothly, any drama stu- dent can verify that it is quite chaotic behind the stage. For the performance, the instructors join the audience and the production becomes the students' responsibility. To the spectators, all is organized and calm, while backstage, adrenalin is flowing as cast and crew work frantically to create that image.

Students could be found just about anywhere around Baton Rouge, from the annual State Fair to a stroll in the mall. Students enjoyed excitement and spent much of their leisure time in its pursuit. There are some impressing things to do and see in Baton Rouge, for example, Fun Fair Park and Don Carter's Bowling Lanes. If students did not like this kind of fun, maybe a visit to the Louisiana Arts and Science Center or a walk around the Cen-troplex fountains would provide excitement. If neither of these interested a student. there was always a concert coming into town to please any ear. Mew on the scene this year was CHEERS, a place where students under age could go and listen to a live band and “party legal.” as their slogan stated. Everyone seemed to enjoy this club. It gave many students a chance to experience their own “night on the town. This, along with other parties and even the movies, added to the excitement.

Baton Rouge Rotarian Greg Eaton chaired the committee to get the Interact program started at B.R.H.S. Then John Boston, the club's Rotary Sponsor and teacher advisor. Jan Daly, helped to structure club activities. Because only twenty students could become members, selection was difficult. The application asked for such information as grade point average, making membership honorary. Each member was given a nonvoting seat on a local board, such as the Arts and Humanities Council. The club also participated in several charity oriented activities, including a clean up day for the Cancer Society and a Bowl-A-Thon for muscular dystrophy. Then in May. members became involved in the Fest For All and worked for a Sister Cities program. The year was drawn to a close with a reception held by the Rotary club, to induct new members and to present the club its official charter. Members Lisa Lindsay.

Students still had many things to look forward to. Seniors anticipated college and career planning. Juniors looked forward to finally becoming Seniors. Sophomores said good bye to a year of relaxation and began planning the next prom. Freshmen breathed a sigh of relief — the year of teasing and elevator passes had come to an end. Many activities highlighted the year. Various plays, concerts, sports events, dress-up days, dances, and parties sponsored by different clubs and organizations provided students a wide variety of things to do. It was a year full of new and exciting impressions for everyone. It was 1984 — a year of memories. Following a performance of THE NUTCRACKER SUITE, dance students Loren Cunningham. Ashley Zollinger. Betty Har-elson. Katherine Paulsen. Susan Kjar. Leah Draaycr. and Wendy King smile triumphantly. Senior Steve Erickson displays his vibrant school spirit on Masquerade Day.

Year Round (Ip 177 1984 In The News Special Olympics Baton Rouge was the focus of worldwide attention as it hosted the 1983 International Summer Special Olympics in July. Community volunteers provided support and hospitality for the hundreds of special olympians and their families. The hard work and cooperation of volunteers made this event a tremendous success. Many BRHS students had the oppor tunity to volunteer their time and services for these olympians. WORLD Gf WINNERS! 1983 Iniernauonal Sy«i Special Olympics Games Abroad Tragedy struck three times during the year, leaving an impressionable scar on the lives of many Americans. On March 6. 1984. the Soviet Union was blamed for the destruction of a South Korean airliner filled with tourists. No reason for this massacre could be found beyond the Soviets’ claim that the plane entered their air territory and they thought it to be a spy plane. Americans were notified on February 9. 1984, of the death of Soviet President. Yuri Andropov. Andropov was believed to have died after a long battle with heart and kidney disease. He was 69 and had been military leader of Russia for 15 years before becoming the Premiere. The United States was again struck with tragedy when U.S. marines were involved in a fatal surprise attack on the morning of Tuesday. October 25, 1983. Blame for the deaths of over three hundred marines was never pinpointed, but Muslim soldiers were believed to be the cause. Flying Higher On February 3. 1984. the space shuttle CHALLENGER was launched on its fourth flight. Two U.S. astronauts be came the first men to fly freely in space propelled only by backpack jets. The CHALLENGER had suffered a loss of two satellites. This was caused by a failure of the rocket engine that was to send the satellite into orbit. The crew consisted of five astronauts. On April 6. the CHALLENGER was launched on a seven-day mission. It was the fifth mission for the CHALLENGER and the eleventh for an American space shuttle. The crew, headed by Capt. Ro-bery L. Crillite. It had been expected to land in Cape Canaveral, but due to cloud coverage, it was changed to Edwards Air Force Base. On the scene of sports, this was a year of upsets. In pro football the race for the Superbowl matched the Washington Redskins and the L.A. Raiders, with the Redskins claiming the victory. Shifting locations and seasons, sports enthusiasts focused on the college basketball battle between Kentucky and Georgetown. The title was won by Georgetown. In professional basketball, last year's champs, the Philadelphia 76er's, were eliminated by the New York Mets early in the playoffs. The year was a great one for sports both indoor and out. and stands as a tribute to the athletes who put their effort into playing the best game possible. Sports AT T The long awaited and much heralded divestiture of the Bell system telephone companies of American Telephone Telegraph Company came to reality on January 1. 1984. Seven regional holding companies re placed the twenty-two original Bell units and continued to dominate local tele phone service. The new principle divisions of AT T were AT T Communications, which encompassed the company's regulated longdistance network, and AT T Tech nologies Inc., which housed such new businesses as unregulated computer- data processing services. World’s Fair The World Exhibition opened in New Orleans with a scheduled run from May to November. People from all over the world converged on the Crescent City to make the Fair an impressive undertaking. New Orleans was keyed up for the event, which drew millions to the birthplace of jazz and fine creole cooking. 178 News Elections Louisiana voters elected Governor Edwin Edwards for an unprecedented third term, unseating Republican incumbent Dave Treen in November. 1983. Another exciting race during 1984 was that for state superintendent of education, between incumbent Kelly Nix and Dr. Tom Clausen. These two oppo nents had faced each other in the same election four years prior. Dr. Tom Clausen was elected. Following a federal mandate, Louisiana held a presidential primary on May 5, 1984. Although voter turnout was low, support was given to Jesse Jack-son, the first serious black contender for the Democratic presidential nomination. President Ronald Regan received the Republican nomination. In an earlier election, East Baton Rouge Parish voters renewed two edu cational tax proposals, but defeated new proposals providing for teacher raises and school improvements. Rain Or Shine Old Man Winter was late, but when he did arrive everyone knew it. Louisiana experienced some of the coldest weather on record during November, December, and January. The nation was hit with icy conditions for long periods. Ice in the North got so bad that in January pieces were seen floating down the Mississippi, an occurrence not witnessed in many years. As a reward for perseverance, spring arrived with some of the nicest days ever. However, by the end of April the humidity and temperatures were previewing summer. Sunking On April 29. 1984. “The Sun King: Louis XIV and the New World ' opened in New Orleans at the Louisiana State Museum. This was the first time an international exhibition premiered at a southern museum. Three themes were presented: the first, “Louis the Man,” the second, Louis the Patron, and the third. “Louis and the Colonies. Many paintings, furnishings, sculptures, and other unique pieces of that time were presented. Many of the art pieces were on loan from the Louvre in Paris and the Chateau at Versailles. The gallery displays capture Louis XIV's early years and gave background information on his family. The exhibit will close on No vember 18 and will then open in Washington, DC.

The heads of each department presented the awards to those who had earned recognition; Mrs. Batker presented the special awards along with the help of guests from the community who had some connection with the award. Miss Guillot then presented scholarships to about 100 seniors. Many scholarships were for large amounts and some of the seniors received more than one. Among the awards.

As a token of appreciation, representatives of Boy Scouts of America present Anne Atherton a gift for serving as student board member from the Interact Club.

As the Class of '84 took those last steps onto the stage, everyone knew it was to mark the end of their high school ca reers. Graduation was the culmination of twelve long years of schooling Looking back on those years, memories of many new and exciting impressions were called to mind. This was simply a summing up of all those impressions, a final high school impression. The traditional POMP AND CIRCCMST ANCE was performed by the orchestra as 271 members of the 1984 graduat- ing class marched into the filled auditorium.
